from work to avoid a repeat of this morning. in clarendon, there was frustration. d.c.-bound riders who had already experienced single tracking delays on the orange line between the vienna and church stations had to take a bus bridge from east falls church to the claren deny station, because the boston and other station ws are closed. all of it for trackwork. >> do you have to work today? >> yes, i do. that's where i'm on my way right now. >> are you going to be late? >> i don't know. i hope not. >> i'm supposed to go to the dentist. i guess i'm going to be late. >> reporter: these twitter pictures were sent by red line riders. they show pictures of crowded platforms where trains were being single tracked. >> i went down into the bethesda station this morning at 9:00 and there was many people leaving, going in. and when the train arrived it was packed. only a few people could get on.

today there was clearly a real rewup. >> reporter: at the dreen belt station, passengers headed toward college station were not happy to hear about single tracking delays. add in a modified holiday schedule for metro buses, and it was delays all the way around. >> how long have you been waiting? >> a long time. >> reporter: as one person pointed out today, the track work, the delays are necessary. there's important safety work that metro has to do. it's frustrating for everyone. but we're told it will all end at the close of the system tonight. jackie bensen, news4. two people are dead after a tractor-trailer and truck collided here in frederick county this afternoon. one other was seriously injured. the vehicles crashed here at route 75, and ed mclean road in monrovia. the tractor-trailer overturned, spilling some of its cargo down a hill. get ready, we've got a major temperature change coming, and

it's going down. it was in the 70s today, but that is going to change rather quickly. storm team 4 meteorologist doug kammerer is here with all the numbers for you. >> yeah, the numbers are going down. and you mentioned that, wendy. you'll wake up tomorrow morning and it will beompletely different air mass upon us. take a look outside right now. 67 degrees out at the airport. winds out of the south at 12 miles per hour. a very nice, a very comfortable afternoon. we saw some sunshine today and a high of 72 degrees. just beautiful. the radar picture showing a few showers right now out along the blue ridge. that's where they're going to remain. don't expect much in the way of rain throughout the evening. but back to the west, that's a cold front. notice in portions of ohio, into west virginia, some of that rain is on the heavier side. once again, we are seeing much colder air behind that cold front. some areas are seeing 30 to 40 degree differences from one day to the next. how about us, 67 right now in washington. but look back towards columbus,

ohio. only 39 degrees. and rain there. that is not a very good afternoon. and that means for us, we're not going to see a very good morning tomorrow. we're talking about a very cold morning, a very rainy morning. tomorrow morning's rush hour, not going to be pretty. i'll talk to you about that, talk about what this storm will bring us, and break it down for you and show you what comes next. now to new developments in the scandal involving retired general david petraeus. keith russell is live with details on how the fbi stumbled into paula broadwell and their alleged affair in the first place. >> senior lawmakers are asking why the fbi knew about david petraeus' extramarital affair for so long before they were informed. now at least we know, as you said, how that alleged affair was uncovered. nbc news has learned that petraeus family friend joe kelley began receiving anonymous e-mails she viewed as menacing, from a source close to kelley who reviewed the e-mails. the first referred to kelley socializing with other generals

in the tampa area and suggested her behavior was inappropriate and should stop. the fbi reportedly traced the e-mails back to paula broadwell and revealed the affair between the two. there were concerns that some of those e-mails contained information about the schedules of several high-level generals. that sparked concern that someone with access to sensitive or classified information was stalking kelly. senate intelligence committee woman said the information should have been shared. >> so it is very puzzling, and i think was a mistake, because this thing just came so fast and so hard. and since then, it's been like peeling an onion. every day another peel comes off and you see a whole new dimension to this. so my concern has actually escalated over the last few days. >> the source says kelley had never met broadwell and had no idea who she was.

the source also tells nbc news that kelley is purely a social friend of the petraeus family. that's what we know from here. live in the newsroom, keith russell, news4. eleanor holmes norton spent the day trying to make certain that when the military displays the flag of the 50 states. tom sherwood is here with more on the attempts to right a small but symbolic wrong. >> it may seem like a small thing, but it's a matter of pride in your country. and pride in your hometown. tommy rut ger is an investigator for the d.c. fire department. her husband is a d.c. police sergeant and military veteran. they're both proud of their son, jonathan, who joined the navy last winter and graduated from great lakes training facility. they flew up to cheer him on. >> and i see him, and he is bursting with pride. i quickly realize that the baby i sent to the united states navy

wasn't the same person. it was a man now. >> reporter: tommy rutger joined with norton monday at the d.c. world war i memorial on the mall to help right what they see as a wrong. each recruit graduate is introduced with his or her state flag flying. but there was no d.c. flag for jonathan. >> if you're from virginia or texas, that flag would come out and that family for that recruit would cheer and yell. but they went down the line, and i'm saying, this can't be. there was no flag for the district of columbia. there was no recognition for my son's service. >> reporter: she said she's asking president obama to signed a memorandum and the senate to agree to a house bill requiring the d.c. flag being included whenever the 50 state flags are used. she spoke of mrs. rutger. >> pain, even humiliation, any american family would feel. once and for all, we ask the president to wipe clean this

disrespect. >> reporter: mrs. rutger emphasized to news4 that her son and his family loved the u.s. navy, and all it's done for him. >> i was one of those parents who didn't want my son to go in the military. mainly because of fear, not knowing. but i'm telling you, it's the best move he could have made. >> jonathan loves the navy so much, he's now working to apply to the naval academy. congresswoman norton said she'll help. wendy? >> tom sherwood, thank you. chopper 4 is on the scene of a warehouse fire in landover this afternoon, it started just before 3:00. it's a repair facility for taxi cabs. one worker was taken to the hospital with serious burns. nearly two weeks after superstorm sandy, more than 70,000 long island power authority customers are still in the dark and in the cold. protesters gathered at the utility headquarters this weekend. the power authority which also heard a lot of criticism during tropical storm irene last year

way to stay up to date while we're on the go. a new study says using the devices could actually help people with chronic vision problems. erica edwards explains why. >> reporter: electronic tablets like the ipad may help improve reading ability for people with macular degeneration and similar vision problems. >> it doesn't make the blind see, but it makes it more comfortable, gives a little edge. >> reporter: dr. daniel roth in new jersey explained that the macula is the part of the eye we use when we look at something directly to read it. but this is what the world can look like with a damaged macula, a big hole in the field of vision. reading is extremely difficult. >> the patients would often complain that they don't have enough light, and they would try and get better lighting in the room, or have some light on the page. >> reporter: because electronic tablets are backlit, the light comes directly from the source. they can adjust the font size and brightness to sharpen

letters and images. compared with reading a book or newspaper -- >> the ipad has at least a 15 words per minute increase reading speed which is significa significant. >> reporter: it may lead to tired eyes, many experts say there's no evidence reading from screens can damage eyes further. erica edwards, nbc news. we hope you enjoy today because the weather's about to go south on us. >> and it is now becoming almost later in november, so that's about normal, huh? >> that's about right. yeah, temperatures over the last couple of days have been very, very warm, after a 10 to 12-day period of well-below average temperatures. the last three days have been very nice. high today so far 72. that is 13 degrees above average. tomorrow, how about 13 degrees below average. as we look outside right now, you can see a nice shot of the monuments this evening. temperatures sitting at 67 degrees at the airport. winds out of the south at 12 miles per hour. it's the southerly wind we've

seen over the past couple of days to help us get nice and warm. 71 yesterday. 72 today. just gorgeous. 67 degrees right now. actually, 66 in gaithersburg, 66 in leesburg, 70 in culpepper and still 72 down towards fredericksburg. it's going to be a very warm night tonight. it started the evening for a concern. notice right along the blue ridge here, seeing a little bit of that, so don't expect to see everybody on the dry side. you may need the umbrellas out here and the windshield wipers just a little bit if you're heading out on 66. but i think for the most part this evening will be dry. the rain will move in overnight tonight. it's a lot of rain, too. the cold front making its way in. you can tell there's cold air here when you have snow changing to snow on the back side of the cold front. that's not going to be what happens for us. wee won't see any snow for our area. but what we'll see is the combination of fairly strong winds and some fairly heavy rain just during our morning rush. tomorrow morning, not looking

good at all. look at these numbers ahead of the front. 67 in washington. 60 in boston. 71 in raleigh. and 34 right now in chicago. 39 in cincinnati. that's the cold air that's going to be filtering on in overnight. by tomorrow morning, you are really going to notice a change. once again, nice and warm ahead of it. but here comes the wind and here comes the cold. one of the coldest air masses so far this season. that cold front moves through fairly quickly tomorrow. but once again, it will bring us some rain early in the morning. and this cold air will most likely become more cool air on wednesday. temperatures still about five to ten degrees below average. but the winds will begin to die down. this is going to be a typical late fall, early winter type of day as we move into the middle of the week. this evening, mostly cloudy, rain moving in. most likely around 10:00, 11:00 tonight. rather breezy. 57 to 63 degrees. tomorrow morning, rain likely. some heavy. rather windy and cold. 37 to 42 degrees. winds, sustained winds 15 to 25

miles an hour. let's break down tomorrow morning for you even more as you make your way into work. this will be the tough part. areas of rain heavy at times. strong gusty winds, gusts 30 to 40 miles per hour. tomorrow morning, between, say, 5:00 and 9:00 a.m. when you're heading to work or kids are heading to school, you'll need the um brem las, and probably need to pick the coats back out of the closet and likely delays especially on the roadways. you may want to give yourself extra time tomorrow morning. it's looking nasty. tomorrow afternoon, we do get a little bit better. clouds and rain early. afternoon sunshine. rather windy and chilly. high temperatures only in the upper 40s. and windchills in the low 40s all day long with the winds gusting to 35 miles an hour in the afternoon. tomorrow's going to be a very chilly day. we stay chilly wednesday and thursday. temperatures five to ten degrees below average. many of you will stay in the 40s. i'm going 51 on tuesday. or rather 51 on wednesday in the city, 52 on thursday. friday coming in at 54 degrees.

notice those 30s for overnight lows. many of you will be in the upper 20s in some of the suburbs. it stays chilly for this weekend. and guess what, guys, we're talking about another potential coastal storm on sunday. >> what? >> and monday. it seems like they won't stop. but another potential coastal storm coming up this weekend. not looking too strong -- >> a nor'easter? >> yeah, as a matter of fact, yeah. >> i mean, like what we had the other day? >> this is what we're watching. we're still six to seven days out. but the winds on this thing could once again pile water up in places we don't need to see it along the jersey shore, and up towards new york. another round potentially for them. right now, we'll keep our eyes on it for you. >> we know you will. doug, thank you. coming up next on news4 at 5:00 tonight, backstabbing, rumor starters, workplace bullies, how local lawmakers are working on a plan to protect workers from getting pushed around. local kids in virginia get special visitors as they learn about veterans day.

the redskins are regrouping

on this pi week. trying to get their act together a little bit. dan is with chris cooley at chris' house. hi, guys. >> hello, wendy. yeah, the home of the cooley report this monday. the redskins have a week off and try to regroup after a big, big dich divisional game with the philadelphia eagles. i guess i can say you're a little refreshed. what did you do on the bye week? >> i worked out. i know it was nice for a lot of the guys. i think a lot of guys had a nice week off. for a young team playing nine games in a row without a bye is very, very hard. so guys took a little bit of  time and maybe worked out a little bit. but came back and i thought we had a very good practice today. >> let the bodies kind of regenerate a little bit, get in better shape. in terms of the biggest area of concern, and it seems like there are many with a team that is 3-6 this time of year, my opinion would be obviously the

secondary. too many big plays. how do you remedy that situation if you are a defensive coach? put yourself in their mind for a minute, with the talent that you have in the secondary right now. >> i think it's been so frustrating for this team, and the fan base, to give up all these big plays. there's got to be a way for us to create pressure, to watch the game, they haven't created a lot of pressure throughout the year. last couple of weeks gave up more big plays. i think earlier in the year they did a good enough job remedying it with turnovers. they scored points, created turnovers. but we have not created any turnovers the last two weeks. if you can get a little bit more pressure, and hopefully create a couple more turnovers, i think that helps it out. obviously you don't want to give up the big plays. >> but turnovers obviously help the situation a bunch. this once high-powered offense sputtered the last couple of games. combined for just 25 points. obviously running the ball has not been an issue. robert a huge help, because he

can do things with his feet a few other quarterbacks can't. he is still a seventh ranked rusher in the nfl. but where is the help going to come from in the passing game? you guys obviously don't have pierre. he practiced a little bit today. no word on whether he's going to be back or not. >> it's amazing, last week, we had only two drives in the first half. and they were 18 plays, and 16 plays. we had the ball the entire first half. we just have to find a way to finish and score. i don't think we were that inefficient. we were pretty consistent until we got to the red zone. we've talked a lot about playmakers, stepping up to make plays. i think that's what great football teams do is they lean on their big playmakers to make big plays for them. we've got to continue to catch the ball a little bit better. and hopefully the big plays will come like they did earlier in the season. >> all right. cooley's return, numberswise. dismal, two games, two losses, no catches. are you glad you came back?

>> i'm ecstatic that i came back. it was the one thing i wanted to do is come back. it's been a good step back into football for me. and the way i've looked at it is, it's an amazing opportunity for me to be a part of this team. i want to do whatever it takes for us to be better. and i can't complain. maybe i could go in and gripe a little bit. but i just think that's out of place. for me, it's about showing them that i'm capable of doing what they need. and maybe helping out as much as i can. maybe coaching a little bit as far as logan and the other guys go. but i feel very confident in my ability to play. i feel better after being back for a couple of weeks and hopefully build my way into the offense. >> i know that's one thing that logan said. i asked if it was weird that he was catching more balls than you were, and that's a total role reversal from a couple of years ago. he said having him here to help me i've really appreciated.

we'll talk about michael vick, who is likely not to be playing for the eagles against the redskins this week. is that a good thing or a bad thing because the eagles with mike vick have not played too well. >> we want to know, is that the cooley man cave where you are right now? it's kind of like a little cavern in there. >> i can't hear anything. you decided not to let -- >> oh, that's sometimes a good thing. because he never stops talking. is this the cooley man cave down here is what they want to know. >> this is the unused basement. >> pretty good, huh? >> thank you, guys. see you in a bit. next at 5:30, new details this evening about the teenager arrested for the murder of a taxi driver. and northern virginia children get a firsthand account today about honoring veterans. hey, look! a shooting star!

different air mass tomorrow morning. the radar showing we do have the rain making its way toward portions of west virginia and southwestern virginia. and a few showers along the blue ridge. behind this front, ahead of it, veryarm air. but behind this front, look at the temperature. it is 69 right now in morgantown, west virginia. just about 100 miles away in columbus, ohio, it is now 37. a 32-degree temperature difference. that's where many of us will wake up tomorrow morning, as this cold front continues to move through this area. get ready, it's coming. new developments tonight in the murder of a d.c. cab driver last week. court documents show a teen couple needed money, and they were willing to kill to get it. news4's darcy spencer is live outside d.c. superior court with disturbing details of this case. darcy? >> reporter: jim, according to these court documents, witnesses came forward after the teenage girl allegedly talked about committing the crime. now, when detectives talked to
